A composition is a file, but "edit it on the filesystem" is not a browser affordance. The roster gains `read`/`write`/`remove` beside `select`, and the browser gains a settings section over them: the presets as rows, one composition open in a YAML editor at a time, and per-row default, duplicate, and delete. All four authoring methods are loopback-pinned. A composition names the plugins a session runs, so reading one is reconnaissance, writing one is arbitrary capability, and selecting one can move a session onto a preset that edits the live runtime. `agentPreset.list` deliberately stays ordinary and now reports `authorable`, so a surface knows whether creating is possible at all rather than offering a button whose save always fails. Authoring starts by duplicating: a shipped preset opens read-only because the deployment's copy is what a broken local one is compared against. Ids are contained before they become directory names, and the text is parsed with the loader's own schema, so a save cannot leave a file no session could load. Fixes a defect the real-composition test found: a preset written under the user's home could never mount, because the loader resolves a row against the composition's own directory and Node's `node_modules` walk from there never reaches the installed harness. The mount now records the host base and sends bare specifiers there, leaving relative paths resolving from the preset. Also closes the coverage the earlier surfaces in this stack shipped without — the General row, the composer seat, and the plugin halves now have tests.
preset/ — per-session agent composition
English | 中文
An agent preset is a directory holding one agent.cordis.yml. Mounting it under an agent's scope context gives that session its own tools and prompt sections while every other live session keeps its own, so one process can run several differently composed agents at once.

persona/ |
The agent persona as a composable row, so a preset can change identity and not only tools | — |
The deployment ships standard (the full coding agent), core-web (a two-tool benchmark surface), and cordis (the standard agent plus the self-referential toolset and a composition-authoring skill, so a person can ask an agent to author another agent).
The composition split this group assumes: registries and cross-session facilities are process singletons and stay in the host composition, while a preset carries what one agent contributes to them. A preset that names a row publishing a process-global service is rejected at mount rather than allowed to collide with the next session.
